A YEBY IMPORTANT MATTES.
The Ferries Between Fairfield and
dewberry Oyer Broad Slyer
Should Be Decided Jfow.
I feel it a duty to call t&e taxpayers
attention to conditions now existing
on Broad river in the way of ferries
and to what will exist after the completion
of the dam at Parr Shoals.
we nave had in the past up to the
last few years two chartered ferries,
Ashford and Hughey's, then Dawkina
was put in as a private ferry and next
one at Blairs and then one at Hopes.
After the completion of the dam at
Neils Shoals when the river was low
and they held the water it made a very
bad crossing at Ashfords, and then the
high water washed the wire down and
the ferry was abandoned as a public
ferry and moved or opened up at Dawkins;
also the one at Hugheys was
_ 1 X _ 1 3 3 J i. 1 XII ?. J
aDOut aDanaonea ana travel mat usea
to cross there was crossed at Hopes
or Peaks.
Ashfords and Hugheys being the only
chartered ferries across Broad river
from Newberry county.
As the conditions now exist these
arrangements transferring the ferry
from these places to others works fine
and gives excellent crossings, but how
will it be when the dam is completed;
and to find out exactly about these
conditions I made a trip to Parr
Shoals to. ascertain the exact facts,
and they are these:
1. There will be absolutely no
crossing between Peak and Dawkins,
and the ferry at Peak has .been abandoned
for some time and will, as I understand
it, be continued so as there
will be no water on but one side of the
island terminating here.
2. The river will be raised in main
channel fifteen feet at Dawkins, making
the depth at low water from
twenty to twenty-five feet of eddy
water just like a lake. The landing
and the approach to the landing on
the Newberry side will be all right
* until there is a four foot rise in the
river wlhich will cover part of it.
3. Now on the Fairfield side is the
trouble and exists the very trouble
that this letter is expected to especially
call the public attention to.
When you land on the Fairfield side
you will come to a strip of land about
one hundred yards wide, then you will
o~me to another body of water that
will continually get deeper as you go
until just before you come to another
strip of land it will be fiv- feet

I Now these are the conditions given
by the resident engineer who says it
is going to be almost impossible
give anything like satisfaction there j
with a ferry, for every little rise or
fall in the river will effect these con- :
ditions.
| 4. At Strother the river -will be >
raised five feet in main channel, mak- j
ing running water that will propel a
boat across the river in water from
1 'eight to fifteen feet, and will raise the j
river just enough to make excellent
approaches to the boat at the landing
and on either side you will have good
high lands and good approaches to
and from the river. i
i The ^engineer stated that the ferry
at Strother could be made an excellent
'ferry with little expense and one that
would be permanent and that the rise'
jand fall of the river would not play
1 such a prominent part as it would
over the ferry at Dawkins. !
The only obstacle in the way as he
sees it, after talking it over with the
Fairfield authorities is that they have
just spent considerable time and
money making a good road to Dawkins,
and that the road on the Newberi
ry side is in very good condition out
jto the State road which is about a
mile from Ashforas ferry.
Now these people at Parr Shoals are
just as nice and as fair about this
matter as they can be, and are willing
to aid in making the best ferry possible
under the conditions at either
place, and all they ass is cooperation
or tne two counties ana ior cne proper
parties to designate where the fer- :
ry is to be.
Now it makes but very little differ- i
ence to the writer of this piece where J
the ferry is, as my interest lies just!
between the ferries, but while we ar? :
getting help to establish a ferry it is
the- duty for every one to express !bimj
self and put this help where it will

and some will raise quite a racket, j
and I myself would rather it kept open,,

under the conditions as they will ex- j

kicking on the matter now would not ^
